All Fire TV 2’s shipping from Amazon are still rootable, but that won’t be the case for long, so this may be your last opportunity to buy a rootable Fire TV 2 at a discounted price. If you purchase a Fire TV 2 with the intention to root it, be sure to follow my guide on completing the initial setup without updating so that you can use the easier KingRoot rooting method. Even if the device updates or arrives with software version 5.0.5.1, you can still root it using the USB cable method. Rooting is the only way to bypass the app blacklist, which is the best way to continue using FireStarter.

I participate in Amazon’s affiliate program, so when you or anyone makes a purchase after clicking through to Amazon from my site, I get a small kick back. Visitors buy something they probably would have bought anyway, and I can justify to my wife all the time I put into this site, so it’s a win-win. Thanks for supporting me and my family with your purchase!

I didn’t realise that, if I had I’d make sure and always click through your site. I will keep that in mind for future purchases. I’m always buying from Amazon in general so I will make sure to stop by here whenever I do. You easily deserve rewards for all the time and effort you put into this site.
